I have a new release coming out this week, it's called Blessings from Above. The verse says "Home, Garden, Family, Love These are blessings from above".It is stitched on 40 ct flax linen using mostly DMC threads and 5 different colors of Gentle Arts threads.

Our mission was to stitch Moira Blackburn's "Friendship Sampler" using whatever fabric and threads we wanted. We had an exchange partner and we then switched samplers. All the samplers came out unique, it's impossible to pick my favorite.

I had a small piece in The Gift of Stitching online magazine last month. www.thegiftofstitching.comI just received notice that the September issue is now available and realized I meant to add this post ages ago. I had a lot of fun stitching this design as I chose pale colors that I normally don't work with and used Anchor threads which I love but don't use nearly enough.

Methinks it is a token of healthy and gentle characteristics, when women of high thoughts and accomplishments love to sew; especially as they are never more at home with their own hearts than while so occupied Nathaniel Hawthorne
